Easels and tables encircling the gardens displayed a range and quality of art pieces that was impressive and enticing. All works were available for purchase as part of a silent auction which concluded with the evening events. Art lovers were able to choose from a variety of technique and subject matter. Established as well as up-and-coming artists donated their pieces, ranging from abstract and landscape paintings to figurative photography, sculpture and multimedia works. Proceeds from the auction benefited The New Millennium Chapter of City of Hope which was pleased to raise over $15,000 to add to the annual 2001 goal of $50,000.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/afh5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1372 aligncenter\" title=\"afh5\" src=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/afh5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"534\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/afh5.jpg 534w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/afh5-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The City of Hope began in 1913 with two tents at the base of California&#8217;s San Gabriel Mountains as a refuge for tuberculosis victims.
